Guys can someone confirm if they are processing withdrawals? I am interested in purchasing some of their tokens but I am reading on various places around the internet that they are scammers and they are not processing withdrawals..
Please somebody confirm this as fast as possible.
@darkrise Trust me they are Scammers.
Actually he is a scammer, I have good reason to believe he's just one guy I think located in UK that has put in place all the lie around what lakebtc he wants to let people believe it is.
I mean a scam not like letting you deposit then run with the money but by the fact that everything around LakeBTC is such a big lie to lure users into his platform then making profit on people's panic to leave from there when they realize where they get into it.
It is so shady you can't trust a bit from what they are saying here and there of various forums, websites, reviews etc once you take time to verify and dig deeper.
Regarding withdrawals - exactly the point where I struggled to regain control of my funds for almost a month - it's purely
a technical scam.
That means, there are so few so called "LakeBankers" that is practically impossible to find someone to help with withdrawals. I can estimate there are some 10-20 users promoted as LakeBankers while they had to pay a fee to become that, and the reason they did it was because they were fooled that they whould be allowed to "accept" other users deposits in order to - themselves - be able to withdraw.
I brace myself for not being also trapped to this lie to request for LakeBanker status and pay 0.01 BTC for one month of privilege - instead I have waited with some pending withdrawal requests on various amounts and payment methods for 2 almost 3 weeks without anyone from the "existing LakeBankers" picking it up. Pure 0 success.
Now becoming paranoid to recover and regain the control of my funds I decided the only chance is to re-buy BTC with my existing 13.000+ EUR balance and withdraw the BTC then leave this horror platform for good.
Meanwhile I have made some deeper research around what LakeBTC represents, who's behind it and I've been terrified of the huge lies and discoveries I have made, still not believing I was able to get my money back from such a shady big lie all around the internet "wannabe" exchange platform.
I can give you so many hints:
- the company doesn't exist. they say they are part/branch of some huge company Lake Investments something, I found a single company matching that , it was created as an ltd in Virgin Islands in 1999 by some UK anonymous person and it was closed somewhere in 2005 due to inactivity/defaulted.
- check their Facebook, they give their Shanghai address and a small piece of "google maps" snapshot which I manage to localize on Google maps.
The address stated on Facebook doesn't even exist while the localisation of the map snapshot where they point out you can find actually Hyundai facilities in Shanghai, purely nothing related to lakebtc.
- try then to find opinions from other users, check for that facebook and tweeter, disregarding the very bad comments you'll see actually a extremely small pool of users, you will see that actually nobody is commenting on their tweeter posts so you cannot even argue to consider it the 4th largest trading volume platform in the workd with 10 milions users as they claim.
Look at much smaller real exchanges on how big social networks they have, lakebtc is basically nonexistent on social networks.
There are just a few examples of easily verifiable facts that are showing the magnitude of the lie behind this lakebtc, best advice - stay as far as you can!
